The use of soil water retention curve models in analyzing slope stability in differently structured soils
2017
Abstract This study analyzes whether and at what rate the parameterization of the Soil Water Retention Curve (SWRC) affects the analysis of shallow slope stability for differently structured unsaturated soils. Advanced empirical or physically-based equations of SWRCs have been proposed in literature to describe soil systems characterized by the so-called bimodal porous domain. In unsaturated soils, SWRC affects the stability assessment in two ways. It influences the resistance properties in terms of shear strengths, which depend on the soil water suction; and it affects the hydrological process modeling (e.g. infiltration) directly influencing soil moisture patterns and indirectly influenci…
Modular Assembly of Multimodal Imaging Agents through an Inverse Electron Demand Diels–Alder Reaction
2019
International audience; The combination of two imaging probes on a same biomolecule gives access to targeted bimodal imaging agents that can provide more accurate diagnosis, complementary information, or that may be used in different applications, such as PET imaging and fluorescence imagingassisted surgery. In this study, we demonstrate that dichlorotetrazine, a small, commercially available compound, can be used as a modular platform to easily assemble various imaging probes. Doubly-labeled tetrazines can then be conjugated to a protein through a biorthogonal IEDDA reaction. A series of difunctionalized tetrazine compounds containing various chelating agents and fluorescent dyes was synth…
Implantación coclear bilateral en niños. Comparativa con la implantación unilateral y la estimulación bimodal
2020
Introducción El diagnóstico precoz de las enfermedades supone el primer elemento para llegar a un tratamiento eficaz. Esta actuación es mucho más determinante en los casos de hipoacusia en recién nacidos/as, dada la estrecha relación existente entre audición y lenguaje. En realidad, sólo disponemos de los primeros cinco o seis años para evitar que las pérdidas de audición tengan efectos permanentes en el desarrollo de ese lenguaje. Esto es debido al período crítico de aprendizaje, en el cual quedan selladas las características morfológicas y funcionales de las áreas corticales del lenguaje. Realizar una detección precoz de los problemas auditivos permite llevar a cabo el tratamiento lo ante…
